Kinematics and Convergent Tectonics of the Northwestern South American Plate During the Cenozoic

Kinematics and Convergent Tectonics of the Northwestern South American Plate During the Cenozoic

Abstract The interaction of the northern Nazca and southwestern Caribbean oceanic plates with northwestern South America (NWSA) and the collision of the Panama‐Choco arc (PCA) have significant implications on the evolution of the northern Andes. Based on a quantitative kinematic reconstruction of th...
